2 Divine Service and Award Presentations Grand York Rite of Kansas Annual Session Manhattan, Kansas April 10-13, 2013

3 NECROLOGY SERVICE The Grand Prelate, Roger Walls began with a welcome to the Necrology Service. That is an interesting word, but let s open with prayer. Our Heavenly Father, we gather together to bid farewell to our comrades. We ask that your blessings be upon us and that you strengthen us as we gather together in your name. We ask Father that you be with us this evening, help us to remember those that have gone on before and help us to bless those families that have sacrificed those loved ones. As we go into this service now, we ask that you open our hearts and minds to be receptive to the words that we hear and grant us father the strength and the wisdom to carry those words with us wherever we go that when people see us, they see you. In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen I want to start with some scripture here, this is my show. As Mack says, this is my show. I chose the scriptures as this is my favorite one. My favorite scripture, from the book of Isaiah, chapter 52 starting at verse 7. Here these words from our Father. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who bring good tidings, that publish peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publish salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion. Break forth in to joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God. And we see that salvation today. At this time the ladies are going to make a collection. The money goes to the Holy Land Pilgrimage. The Grand Prelate then asked for all to stand and sing the Doxology. Father, we live the abundant life that you have given us and we thank you for the blessings you have given us at the top of every day. The blessings of life that we so enjoy. The blessings of friendship and companionship that we enjoy when we come together. The blessings of love that flows in those gatherings. We ask that you bless these gifts and the givers and that they be used to further your Kingdom here on Earth. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen The audience was seated. We are here to remember those guys, our Brothers, who have laid the path that we are on. Because these Companions of ours that have gone on before us, they laid a path that we follow every day. And we thank them for the efforts that they made for the path that they cleared for us in our travels. God has given us the strength to travel. God has given us the strength to follow those guys wherever they lead us and the wisdom that comes from his word. Thank God for his word.

4 I want to share a story with you. This is a true story, my son graduated from Chapman High School in And every year that he was in high school they used to have Superbowl Sunday and the boys would come over to the house and we would have sandwiches and they would go out and play football in the afternoon and come in and watch the football game. One day the boys came back into the house and they are sitting there watching tv and one of the boys was sitting in my chair. He reaches over and picks up my cypher. He says, What is this? And my son says, oh that s my dad s, he s a Mason and the boys said what do the Masons do? My son says they sit around and go.. And every Mason knows exactly what s it s all about. Because we do take the Word, don t we? We do take the Word and we take that Word into our hearts and we study it. We study it because we want to make the next man better. We take the knowledge that we gain from those syphers and monitors and we take that knowledge and we pass it on to the next generation. That s the joy of being a Mason. Seeing that next generation develop before your eyes. I m going to share a story and you can thank Fred for this story, it s a beautiful story. You can thank Fred for this story. He tried t0 give4 it three times at Grand Lodge and we never got it done. This guy walks onto this construction site and these Masons are there and they had the bricks together. They walked over to one of the guys and said, What are you doing? And the worker replied, Oh ok well go on you are doing a good job. He walks around the corner and sees a guy doing the same thing on that wall that the other guy was doing so he asks what are you doing? and he responds, I m buildi9ng a wall. Good, you are doing a god job, go on. He walks around the corner again to the back side and sees this guy doing the same thing so he asks him what are you doing? He says I am building a temple. Three guys doing the same thing but all three guys looked at their mission differently. O(ne guy was just paying blocks, one is building a wall, and one guy is building a temple. But they all are laying bricks. Brothers, that s the challenge that is before you today. Lay bricks so that the next generation can have something to build on. Build a wall so that the next generation has something to build on and when you have done that and you sit around and someone sees you in your chair going, remember, I am building Masons. I am taking a man and making him better. That s a message and that is just what God wants us to do. That s what God told Isaiah to do. Everybody look down at your feet and see the beauty of Gods mission for you. You all have beautiful feet because you are studying the word of God. In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen At this time Lyn will do a special song. Lyn asked everyone to be in the attitude of prayer. He sang the Lord s Prayer. The Grand Prelate then dismissed the audience.

17 Grand High Priest Report Companions and honored guests, it is my honor and privilege to welcome you to the One Hundred Forty Seventh Annual Convocation of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Kansas. I trust we will have a productive and meaningful session. My report was not listed in the Advanced Proceedings due to the unforeseen trials and tribulations that have taken place in my life during the past year. I have not been able to attend all the meetings and sessions that I wanted to this year due to work and health restraints. I was able to represent Kansas Royal Arch Masons at the Sixty- Eighth Triennial Conference in South Carolina and the South West South Central Department conference in Dallas. I attended the Rainbow Girls Grand Assembly in Wichita and attended several inspections around the state. I also accompanied the delegation from Kansas on the Annual Cryptic Deposit Inspection on Pikes Peak, Colorado. I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my Masonic Father, Claude L. Carpenter, for appointing me to the progressive line during his year as M:. E:. Grand High Priest. I can only hope that I have been able to justify his faith in me. I would also like to thank my Officers and District Deputy Grand High Priests, without which very little would have been accomplished this year. I appreciate the honor and trust that my Masonic brothers have given me during this year, and sincerely hope that I have helped make Kansas Masonry better during my term as Grand High Priest. Respectfully submitted Michael E. Bennett M:. E:. Grand High Priest The Grand High Priest then moved for acceptance of this report. The motion was seconded and carried.

This completes the roll call of the Chapters. Grand Treasurers Report The complete Grand Treasurers report was in the Advanced Proceedings. accepted and will be part of the permanent records. The report was Grand Secretary s Report Again the full report is in the Advanced Proceedings. To the Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Grand Officers and Companions of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Kansas: The Annual Report of transactions of the Office of Grand Secretary for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2013, is submitted for your consideration and approval. The number of active chartered Chapters listed is now 32. But there are two Chapters who have not reported for several years and need the attention of the Grand High Priest and the Council of Administration; Troy Chapter No.16, Troy, and Ellsworth Chapter No.54, Ellsworth. These Chapters have not responded to notices, letters, or telephone calls. The leadership need to take hold and not leave it to the York Rite office. El Dorado Chapter No. 35 merged with

23 Wichita Chapter No.33 and Garden City Chapter No, 83 merged with Liberal Chapter No. 65 this last year. These mergers with others in the past few years show that suspensions for nonpayment of dues and demits in annual reports show huge losses of membership. Sometimes the loss is as large as 70% of the original membership of those merging. This is a sorry state of affairs. On the other side, I congratulate Leavenworth Chapter No.2 for not only bringing their reports up to date, but the enthusiastic activity in their Chapter. A second Chapter to be congratulated is Hiram Chapter No.30, Girard. They showed a gain of 25% in membership last year. Yes they are a small Chapter, but why do we not see a gain in membership in the other Chapters? Keep up the good work. I wish to thank those Secretaries that filed their Annual Reports on time and sent their Activity Reports in a timely manner. The information received on Activity Reports makes the Annual Reports not only more accurate, but easier for the local Secretaries. No Activity Reports many times creates a stress for me, especially when I find officers reported and I have no record of them being a member. To the Secretaries who were late, incomplete, or do not give accurate information, I sincerely believe all of you will do better next year. The information recorded in this office is only as accurate as the information received. Incomplete and inaccurate information costs the membership thousands of dollars. I have made the Annual Report even simpler, but some do not attempt to complete the report or follow instructions. To those new Secretaries this year, my congratulations and I pledge to help you and all those who have been in retained in office to best of my ability. I am willing to met the Secretaries at the office if arrangements are made in advance. Requiring the local Secretaries to make their own copies of their Annual Reports for their records has cut the mailing cost. Those Secretaries with small errors and perfect reports I would like to thank them for their excellent efforts. To those who do not report or seem to not know how to report, Please make arrangement to met with me to solve this issue. I am sure we can work out a solution. These errors and non reporting have cost us income. It is impossible to prepare a honest budget with this type of information or should I say the lack of information. Annual Reports are due in the office in January not February or March. If there is a good reason for the report being delayed, PLEASE contact the office. The Secretaries who refuse to cooperate, I ask you to put aside any personal differences and work for the betterment of Masonry. If we were to do as Grand Lodge with those who do not report, no member of a Chapter whose report is not filed would be able to attend the Grand Chapter session. I would like all members to use the petitions on the web-site. The information on the old petitions do not cover everything we need. PLEASE report all the information. I have attempted to have a schedule of events on the web also. This is to keep from having a conflict with events. If you will get your information to the office, I will add it as soon as possible. I would like to thank Most Excellent Ed Freeman, Grand Treasurer for all the financial help and Most Excellent David Snyder of the Jurisprudence Committee for legal advice and to both for their help, promptness in answering questions, and their patience with me. The membership and financial report portion of this report can be found in the Advanced Proceedings. The budget this year has been extremely tight as it has the past few years. Part of this is due to the financial condition that all of us are experiencing. I found it necessary to purchase several items for the office personally that had not been budgeted including the update of the database and a new hard drive.

24 It was obvious at the beginning when I took office that it would be necessary to do many tasks from my office at home. Now I am in the office in Topeka at least one full day a week. I continue to spend 20 to 25 hours a week working at home. I sincerely hope everyone realizes that it is one hundred miles round trip to the office and it also takes two hours of travel time that could be used at home doing the office work. Thanks to the office cell phone I am able to answer questions, answer important calls immediately, receive s and reply if necessary. I apologize for those times the requests have slipped through the cracks. I will endeavor to do better if re-elected. This usage seems to be increasing and many times I am not even at home when it is necessary to reply. It is not always possible to answer all questions. Again, my thanks to Cindy for all of her help in the office. Her patience with me is noted and appreciated. Working with checks and balances on each other s work and a good sense of humor, we have gotten over some extremely stressed issues and deadlines. It is not necessary for the office to have a full time person. Even when there is no one in the office the telephone is forwarded to a cell phone. I usually can answer it, even in the evenings. Sometimes it is not convenient. I wish to express my appreciation to my wife, Alice. She has been supported me these many years. I know she does not always like the hours I spend in the office at home and many interruptions of receiving telephone calls at meals and other times we are busy with family and church activities. Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Mike, I thank you for the privilege of serving you and this Grand Chapter. It has been an honor and experience. Respectfully submitted, Wayne H. Rollf Grand Secretary

26 Election of Officers Tellers were John Staton, Byron Alger and Maverick Bolen. They passed out ballots and pencils for the election. Grand Secretary Wayne Rollf said you will notice at the bottom of the ballot, has a line across it. Tear the bottom off. This ballot is self explanatory but if you have any questions, please be sure and ask. While you are filling out your ballot I want to take a little time recognizing heads of appendant bodies who are attached to our York Rite. Knights of York Cross of Honor, the head this year is Claude Carpenter. Order of High Priesthood President is Allan Jackson. Order of Silver Trowel is Very Illustrious Master, Allan Jackson. Past Commander s Association, President is T. Michael Fegan. York Rite College, Governor is Eldon Leitzel. Red Cross of Constantine I know there are several across the state and I am sorry I do not know some of them. In Newton, Wayne White; Kansas City is Don Davidson. Pittsburg is Rodney Middleton. I believe that is all the other presiding officers in the state. Well while we are waiting for the tellers to tally the votes, I noticed this is slightly out of order just like yesterday. Charles Stuckey is here as Past Grand High Priest of Oklahoma. We would like to hear from him at this time. M:. E:. Stuckey thanked for all the hospitality here in Kansas. He was in Kansas in 1976 so it has been some time. Kansas and Oklahoma have officers sitting at different places than we do in Oklahoma. Also some signs are different. However the teachings are all the same. Again thank you for every courtesy extended to me and hope to see you in Oklahoma. There was a report to the Grand High Priest that the tellers were seeking admission.

27 Remarks from Dignitaries Peter DuMont was asked to speak. He is serving the state of Colorado as Most Excellent Grand High Priest. He has enjoyed making numerous friends this week and thanked all for their assistance. Carl Jackson, General Grand Ambassador to Louisiana, General Grand Chapter International and Past Grand High Priest of Louisiana. Carl enjoyed the differences in the work even though it is all the same but different. We are doing Annual Session in two days. It is not advisable. However back to where we are. I really feel the love extended to everyone in this meeting. Masonry is love, relief and truth. It is always good to know that wherever you are, you are with family. I think you for all the courtesies you have extended to me. I will be back to see you all again and until then good bye. C. David Williams, III, General Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons International, Ambassador to Kansas. David, would bring some remarks. About a month and a half ago I was at the Grand Masters Conference for North America in Kansas City. I was walking down and the hall, then I see Ted Harrison walking towards me. He is from New York and he asked how I was and by the way, I need you to represent me at Kansas Grand Chapter. I said ok. Then I receive an stating he told the General Grand Secretary that I would represent him. Then I got another asking why I didn t answer the other s. I wrote back and said I would represent him. Then he sent me a list of what he wanted me to talk about. At least it s a short list. On behalf of Edmund Harrison (Ted) Most Excellent General Grand High Priest of the General Grand Chapter International and the other officers, I bring you greetings and hope all is going well. There has begun a 40 and under club which is for Masons who also belong to York Rite that are under 40 years of age. The purpose of this club is to see what Grand Chapter needs to do to get and keep younger members. I have the information with me if you are interested. It includes leadership and training. Last night you saw a presentation of the Sweetheart Award. This is available to anybody that wants to. It s $100. There is an application. It would be nice to give out three or four of these each year. There is the ritual jewel of the General Grand Chapter now. I have a small picture of it. The scoreboard is two pages long. You have to do Right Worshipful Master, Mark Master twice and a Past Master twice and a Most Excellent Master twice. The High Priest in the Royal Arch, twice; Principle Sojourner in Royal Arch twice, the lecture of the Mark Master degree twice; lecture of the Most Excellent Master Degree twice, the lecture of the Royal Arch twice, Senior Deacon, Mark Master and Senior Warden, Most Excellent Master and Haggai in the Royal Arch Degree twice. There is a scorecard there and you get points for each position. If you get enough points you get the medal. Right now in Kansas David Snyder and Chris Tomlinson have been the only ones close to getting this. There is a new internet newsletter The Royal Arch International News. All it takes is to click on the website and fill out the form with your address and they will send it to you about every month. I did not want to step on Claude s toes but his report is in the Advanced Proceedings it talks about Royal Arch Research Assistance which we call it RARA. I called the General Grand

28 Secretary, Larry Grey the other day and asked him for some information so I would have it. In the past year, $247 contributed to RARA from Kansas. There was one of the donations in 2012 and three so far in From 2005 until today, Kansas has donated $7,876 to RARA. RARA is trying to work with central auditory processing disorder. The situation where they hear something but do not process it correctly. Found in children more than adults. David talked about CAPD (central auditory processing disorder) He wants to challenge the current session of Grand Chapter. He is putting $100 for RARA. We picked up $120 the other night so we are on our way. Can we at least at this session get the total from $220 to $247 or higher? There is another program called the Emerging leaders program Those who can go on to their local chapters, councils or commandery and learn leadership to move on to the Grand level so we have leaders that know how to lead. David asked if you have any questions, please let me know and I will pass the information on to General Grand Chapter. Thank you for letting me speak about this. M:. E:. Bennett asked for the Jurisprudence Committee to discuss the legislation that was before the Grand Chapter. Jurisprudence Report David Snyder approached the microphone and stated that jurisprudence does not have anything to report as they did not receive the report except here in the meeting. I would say to the Grand High Priest that it would be well to visit a local chapter and have someone go through the signs with you and explain those signs to you. The changes that were proposed the Constitution change for the Grand Chapter is to Article II entitled Grand Chapter Officers and Committees under Section 3 Eligibility. The Constitution of the M:. E:. Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Kansas currently reads: Article II GRAND CHAPTER - OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES Sec. 3. ELIGIBILITY - No Royal Arch Mason shall be eligible to any office in the Grand Chapter, except that of the Grand Treasurer, Grand Secretary, Grand Chaplain, Grand Lecturer, or Grand Sentinel, who shall not have been elected and installed High Priest of a Chapter in this Grand Jurisdiction. All officers, both elective and appointive shall be actual residents within this State during the entire term of his office. (1998)

29 Proposed to read: Sec. 3. ELIGIBILITY - Any Royal Arch Mason residing in this Grand Jurisdiction shall be eligible to the office of Grand High Priest, Grand King, or Grand Scribe who has previously been elected and installed as High Priest in this Grand Jurisdiction. Any Royal Arch Mason residing in this Grand Jurisdiction shall be eligible to the progressive line of officers who is a current dais officer of a Chapter in this Grand Jurisdiction. All officers, both elective and appointive shall be members of a Chapter of this Grand Jurisdiction and actual residents within this State during the entire term of his office. (2013) REASON FOR CHANGE: To make more members eligible for a Grand Office due to the declining membership and to encourage the general membership to be active in their local Royal Arch Chapters of Masonry and attend Grand Sessions. Submitted by: Allan D. Jackson, Past High Priest, Iola Chapter No.8 Wayne H. Rollf, Past High Priest, Olathe Chapter No.10 Most Excellent Grand High Priest, this Constitution change requires a 2/3 vote and I move that this proposed change be adopted. The motion was moved and seconded for the constitutional change be adopted. Is there any discussion? Companion Allan D. Jackson suggested an amendment so that it says all officers both elective and appointive shall be members of a chapter in this Grand Jurisdiction. This amendment had a motion made and properly seconded for the proposed changes where we add a Chapter of. This is for clarification sake. All in favor of the amendment, all opposed same sign, the amendment carries. Now is there any other discussion for the proposed change. Hearing none we will now vote on the proposed change. All in favor of the proposed change in wording in Section III vote by the sign made by a Mason when voting. All opposed same sign. The vote received over the required 2/3 vote and so passed. There are two proposed changes to the by-laws for the Most Excellent Grand Chapter. The By-Laws of the M:. E:. Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Kansas currently reads: Article IV SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES REIMBURSEMENTS -- Annual reimbursements, in the following amounts shall be paid from the General Fund as provided by law; to the Grand High Priest $200.00; to the Grand King $100.00; to the Grand Treasurer $200.00; to the official Stenographer $ The foregoing reimbursements to be paid when the duties have been completed. (2003)

30 Proposed to read: REIMBURSEMENTS -- Annual reimbursements, in the following amounts shall be paid from the General Fund as provided by law; to the Grand Treasurer $ The foregoing reimbursement to be paid when the duties have been completed. (2013) REASON FOR CHANGE: To reduce the expenses in the budget. Submitted by: Wayne H. Rollf, Past High Priest, Olathe Chapter No.10 Allan D. Jackson, Past High Priest, Iola Chapter No.8 Companion Snyder read the proposal and then made the motion that this be approved. There was a seconded and the M:. E:. Grand High Priest stated that the motion was properly made and seconded. He then asked if there were any questions. Seeing none he asked for the vote for the proposal. All against. The vote for the change was over the required 2/3 vote so carried. Companion Snyder gave the last By-Law change which reads The By-Laws of the M:. E:. Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Kansas currently reads: Article IV SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES CONTINGENT FUND - At each Annual Convocation the Grand Chapter shall set apart and appropriate the sum of $2, as a contingent fund for the Grand High Priest, To be used by him for paying expenses of visitation, attending funerals, meetings of the Grand Council or paying the expenses of any companion incurred as the special representative of the Grand High Priest. This sum payable as reimbursement for the mentioned expense incurred as Grand High Priest upon receipt of a list of said expenditures. (1991) Proposed to read: CONTINGENT FUND - At each Annual Convocation the Grand Chapter shall set apart and appropriate the sum of $1, as a contingent fund for the Grand High Priest, to be used by him for paying expenses incurred in the performance of his office. This sum payable as reimbursement for the mentioned expenses incurred as Grand High Priest upon receipt of receipts of said expenditures. Expenses to be incurred from the time of the Grand High Priest s installation to February 15th the following year. This list is to be received for payment not later than February 16th each year at the Grand Secretary s office. (2013) REASON FOR CHANGE: To keep the expenses occurred within the budget for the presiding Grand High Priest. All accounting books close February 28 each year. Submitted by: Wayne H. Rollf, Past High Priest, Olathe Chapter No.10 Allan D. Jackson, Past High Priest, Iola Chapter No.8 The M:. E:. Grand High Priest stated that the proper motion was made and seconded. He asked for a vote and it carried with over the required 2/3 vote.

31 M:. E:. Grand High Priest, this concludes the report of the Jurisprudence Committee and thanked him for appointing him to this committee. Companion Wayne H. Rollf mentioned that he had received a total of $302 for the donations so far and he will gladly accept more. He also reminded the Grand High Priest that we must vote on one more report and that is the Finance/Budget for the upcoming year. The M:. E:. Grand High Priest called upon Allan D. Jackson who approached the microphone and stated the proposed budget is located in the Advance Proceedings. This was reported in its entirety. The detailed report will not be in this Grand Proceedings. Allan asked for questions, or comments. There were none so he moved the budget be approved. It was then properly seconded. The vote was taken and it carried. M:. E:. Grand High Priest, I thank you for selecting me for this position. The Grand High Priest then thanked Allan for his work. The M:. E:. Grand High Priest thanked the Companions for their assistance during this year. I would really like to thank Dennis Reed for his work on the sound system, the diligent work for our secretaries in the Grand York Rite office. Acceptance of remaining reports A motion was made and properly seconded that the Grand Chapter accepts the remaining reports as printed in the advanced proceedings. The motion was voted on and carried. CHARTERED CHAPTERS AND CHAPTERS U. D. No report received. John H. Dougan, Jr. Chairman Richard J. Friendly CREDENTIALS No report received. Richard A. Wortman, Chairman B. Harold Barnett Robert C. Simmons

32 FINANCE AND PROPERTY See attached budget. Allan D. Jackson, Chairman FRATERNAL RELATIONS & CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE As the "Age of Technology continues to change, so does the method of communication. Web Sites and have become the norm. Texting and facebook are now old news. The new technology does have some drawbacks. One of the biggest concerns is security. The more information available to the public can cause many and serious problems. We must constantly be aware of these problems and be on guard at all times. Communications with other jurisdictions and other Masonic organizations in Kansas is being done more and more by because of the speed of delivery and cost. Replies can be sent immediately saving days. The printing of s or the electronic filling of s can give us permanent records. Texting and facebook may be satisfactory to some, but they also in most cases lack quality and character. Poor spelling, incomplete sentences, and a lack of self pride seems to the norm with is type of correspondence. The use of the telephone is still a reliable way of communication. Most of us like to hear a real voice and especially when it is someone we know. This somehow gives us a felling of reassurance and confidence. Talking to a machine and automated answering system is impersonal, time consuming and many times frustrating. As the cost of video conferencing declines, we will see more of this usage for discussions. One advantage over the use of telephone is that you can see the person or persons of which you are in conversation. It is almost like being the same room. To keep and have success with Fraternal Relations we must constantly be aware of activities which affect our well being, including those of others. The old saying the lack of communication is the downfall of any relationship is especially true for Masonry. If Masonry is to flourish, all the bodies of Masonry must work together in harmony. This is true with Fraternal Relations. To meet this challenge and help with this success we need to have communication and more importantly, open communication. There is no room for arrogance and selfishness. God created us equal and we are taught in Masonry to meet on the level, act by the plumb, and part on the square. The basis for Masonry begins with the Masonic Lodge or sometimes known as the Blue Lodge. Beyond Masonic Lodge no other Masonic organization is more important than any other. Yes we are all equal. Then let us abide by the lessons we are taught to make Fraternal Relations be strong.

33 Most Excellent Grand High Priest, this committee wishes to express our thanks to you for being able to serve this Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Respectively submitted, R:. E:. Wayne H. Rollf, Chairman E:. Robert L. Tomlinson, Jr. M:. E:. Robert C. Simmons NECROLOGY No report received. Donald Davidson, Chairman Jimmie L.

34 PARAPHERNALIA No report received. Wayne N. Price, Chairman Dennis Johnson PUBLICITY No report received. Marvin A. Armstrong, chairman Steven L. Meyer, Sr. R. A. R. A. Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Most Excellent Grand East and Companions all, The Committee on Royal Arch Research Assistance wishes to report that as of this date we know of two Chapters who have made the recommended contributions to our Philanthropy. They are Olathe #10 and Reno #34. Others may have contributed directly that I am not aware of. I know that many of our Chapters are struggling financially and it is hard if not impossible for them to contribute a dollar per member but any amount helps. It is a known fact that it is very hard for any fraternal organization to operate on their dues alone. It is much easier if they have some outside money to help out. I would suggest a fund raiser of some sort but I think it is unfair not to include all members of the Chapter. Get your Ladies to help, they are waiting in the wings just waiting to be ask to help. I am a very lazy person and not a good writer so will not go over all the good things that is happening with RARA, but look in your Royal Arch Magazine for a complete update on where your money goes and what is being accomplished through our meager contributions. The committee wishes to thank you for allowing us to serve the Grand Chapter in this capacity. Respectfully submitted, Claude L. Carpenter, Chairman

35 YORK RITE PERPETUAL MEMBERSHIP No report received. Dennis M. Johnson, Chairman Fred Lockard Allan D. Jackson YORK RITE PERPETUAL MEMBERSHIP FINANCIAL ADVISOR No report received. C. David Williams, III L. Kent Needham M:. E:. Grand High Priest stated that if a report was due to the office and you have it, please get it in by the end of this month. Wayne stated that there were numbers in the Advance Proceedings that the Annual Proceedings will not have. There will be some dollar amounts and stated that the Annual Proceedings go out as public records. Therefore, to keep things more secure, we removed all bank account numbers and totals. People can go digging into this information and we don t want any more problems with identity loss. We don t need it in our Grand York Rite anywhere. The Most Excellent Grand High Priest called upon the Grand High Priest elect to make any announcements he wanted to say. The Grand High Priest elect stated that his Grand Side this next year will be Carrol Roberts, my lady is not here so I can say this, so Carrol s lady will be helping my lady this next year. Wayne Price then read his appointments. Wayne s appointment to the progressive line will be Thomas Jacks. The installation will be at 1:15 with pictures at 12:45. Please leave your collar, apron and name badge on your chair. The bronze award was not mentioned last night but the bronze medal this year goes to Robert L. Tomlinson, Jr. Please congratulate him.

The M:. I:. Grand Master then gave his address. My address is printed in the Advanced Proceedings. I am sure all of you can read as well as I can so I will not read the entire report but I want to highlight a few things. I want to take this opportunity again to welcome everybody here for the 146 th Annual Assembly of Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas. Again it is an honor to have you here and that you are enjoying your stay here. If for any reason you are unhappy about anything is not going well for you I want to tell Mike Bicknell and if everything is going well you can tell me. We started off the year with our York Rite Reception in Newton which was well attended and enjoyed the time together. I appreciate everyone s efforts and the attendance of officers and members was greatly appreciated. The Grand Council did as we traditionally do, participated in the Great Plains Rendezvous this year. We went to Sterling, Colorado. It was a breezy time going out there and coming back. Kind of warm and windy but I appreciate the Companions that went out there and helped put on the work. I was extremely happy with the quality of work all of you did. Next year we will be doing the Royal Master s Degree in Wyoming. Page 13 of 69

96 We did support the youth organizations again. I was not able to attend these sessions personally but we had representatives there from Grand Council. We had the annual inspection of the deposit out at Pikes Peak. Again I want to thank those who attended this year. We had a little different format than in the past. We were at the Silver Saddle Hotel for our headquarters and had our hospitality room there and on Saturday night before we went on the Peak we had dinner at the Stage Coach Inn. That seemed to work out very well. At 8:30 on Sunday morning we all assembled at the foot of Pikes Peak and the majority of us took the rail car up to the top of the peak. There were a few brave souls who chose to go up by motor car and I am pleased to report to you that they did make it safely to the summit and back to the foot of the mountain. We did participate in the 55 th Annual Southwest Regional and South Central Department meeting which was held in Texas on September Here again Kansas was very well represented and we will have information for you later as this year it will be in Little Rock Arkansas in September. I also want to take this opportunity to give a very special thanks to Most Illustrious Allan Jackson for appointing me to the advancing line and providing me the opportunity to serve the Grand Council. Also I want to thank him for making himself available to serve as our Grand Recorder which gave me the opportunity to appoint Wayne Rollf as my appointment to the line. With that I would like to again thank everyone who helped me this year. Respectfully, T. Michael Fegan Most Illustrious Grand Master I move for the acceptance of this report.

I:.Grand Master out of 18 Councils there are 14 present with us today. At this time M:. I:. Mike asked for the reports from the various committees. We will do the required reports first. GRAND RECORDERS REPORT To the Most Illustrious Grand Master, Grand Officers and Companions of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas: The Annual Report of transactions of the Office of Grand Recorder for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2013, is submitted for your consideration and approval. The following pages contain the information for the year. The number of active chartered Councils is 18. This last year we lost El Dorado Council No.20, El Dorado. Indeed a loss to Masonry. These mergers with others in the past few years show that suspensions for nonpayment of dues and demits in annual reports show huge losses of membership. Sometimes the loss is as large as 60% of the original membership of those merging. Thanks to Cindy for all her help in the office. The York Rite Office could not have functioned without her. Most Illustrious Grand Master, T. Mike, I thank you for the privilege of serving you and this Grand Council. Respectfully submitted, M:.E:. Allan D. Jackson, PGIM Page 17 of 69

100 GRAND TREASURER S REPORT Companion Ed Freeman gave the Treasurers Report. The entire report is listed in the Advanced Proceedings. He stated that he would do the Grand York Rite report first. The report of Grand York Rite is listed in the Page 18 of 69

101 Advanced Proceedings. I might mention that the Bank has changed the rules. I had several small checking accounts in all the different bodies and the bank decided to start charging $10 per month for any checking account that averages less than $5,000 in any month so I have closed most of the small accounts and put them into the larger accounts. I don t know if there was any in the Grand York Rite itself, but if there was, the amounts in those small accounts are now included in the main checking account for each body. There are notations in each stating what amounts are with which accounts. Other than that, I move that the report for the Grand York Rite be adopted as printed in the Advanced Proceedings. M:. I:. Mike then received a second for the motion and the motion passed by the Companions. Ed then continued with the Grand Council report. As for the Grand Council, I would like to move the adoption of the Grand Council s report as printed in the Advanced Proceedings. This motion was also properly seconded and was passed by the Companions. Ed then thanked the Illustrious Grand Master for allowing him to serve another year. Respectfully submitted, Edward L. Freeman, Grand Treasurer Preliminary Credentials Report The preliminary report is as follows: Current Grand officers Registered and Present Past and Honorary Past Illustrious Grand Masters * (does not include current grand officers) Past Illustrious Masters Registered and Present * (does not include current grand officers) All other members Registered and Present (does not include those already counted) TOTAL REPRESENTATION IN GRAND COUNCIL 9 14 Grand Representatives Registered and Present Number of Active Councils Number of Councils Represented Distinguished Guests Present Representatives of General Grand Council Illustrious Grand Masters of Other Grand Jurisdictions Other Distinguished Guests Present Total Attendance for 2013 Grand Council of Cryptic Masons Page 19 of 69

102 Finance Committee Report M:. I:. Mike asked Allan for the current budget information. The Grand York Rite budget is first and the amounts in these line items is dictated to us by by-laws so there is very little we can change. I would like to mention that about 2/3 of the way down the list it lists Copier Replacement. The one we had was giving us fits and was not able to be repaired. We are not budgeting an amount to put back so 5 years or so down the road and we have to replace something again, we have the money put back for it. Other than that, rest of the budget for York Rite is in front of you. If you have any questions, don t hesitate to ask. Hearing none, I move for the acceptance of this report as listed in the Advanced Proceedings. The motion was properly seconded and voted on. It was passed by the Companions. Moving on to the budget for Grand Council. It is again much like the Grand York Rite. It is basically done by by-laws. I don t see anything that is out of the ordinary. I want to mention on the income side, we did move most of the Stifel Nicholas account to an annuity a lot like the Jackson National. We are guaranteed for each year of not going below a certain amount. Again if anyone has a question, please ask. Ok with no questions, I move for the acceptance of the Grand Council Budget as listed in the Advanced Proceedings. This motion was properly seconded and it was passed by all present. M:. I:. Grand Master I thank you for serving as finance chairman for another year. Respectfully submitted, Allan Jackson, Chairman Jurisprudence Report Companion David Snyder approached the microphone for the Jurisprudence Report which follows: Most Illustrious Grand Master, the jurisprudence committee wishes to congratulate you on a most successful year as Most Illustrious Grand Master. Even though you were unable to attend all of the youth organizations, you saw to it that the Grand Council was well represented. The Cryptic Deposit seems to be well attended and the deposit was determined to be in good shape. Your appointment of officers had one officer which required him to be a past Illustrious Master who at that time was not eligible to that office but has since been installed into that office so it seems that situation took care of itself. The committee wishes to thank you for this appointment giving us the opportunity to be of service to the Craft. I move that this portion of the report be approved. The motion was properly seconded, voted on and passed. The remainder of the report deals with the proposed changes to the Constitution and By Laws. Chairman David Snyder reminded everyone that a Constitution and By Law change requires a two thirds vote for it to pass. Page 20 of 69

103 The Constitution of the M:. I:. Grand Council of Cryptic Mason of Kansas currently reads: Article II OFFICERS-REPRESENTATIVES-DEGREES Sec.2. ELIGIBILITY - Any Cryptic Mason residing within this Grand Jurisdiction shall be eligible to the office of Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Principal Conductor of the Work, Grand Captain of the Guard, Grand Conductor of the Council, Grand Marshal, Grand Custodian of the Work, or Grand Steward, who has been previously elected and installed as Master of a council in this Grand Jurisdiction. All officers, both elective and appointive, shall be actual residents within this state during the entire term of his office. (1992) Proposed to read: Sec. 2. ELIGIBILITY - Any Cryptic Mason residing within this Grand Jurisdiction shall be eligible to the office of Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, or Grand Principal Conductor of the Work who has previously been elected and installed as Master of a Council in this Grand Jurisdiction. Any Cryptic Mason residing in this Grand Jurisdiction shall be eligible to the progressive line of officers who is a current dais officer of a Council in this Grand Jurisdiction. All officers, both elective and appointive, shall be members of this Grand Jurisdiction and actual residents within this State during the entire term of his office. (2013) REASON FOR CHANGE: To make more members eligible for a Grand Office due to the declining membership and to encourage the general membership to be active in their local Cryptic Councils of Masonry and attend Grand Sessions. Submitted by: Wayne H. Rollf, Past Illustrious Master, Olathe Council No.11 Allan D. Jackson, Past Illustrious Master, Iola Council No.8 David made a motion to approve this change. The motion was properly seconded. There was one question as to who is considered a member in the grand jurisdiction. Membership of Grand Council shall consist of the Past Masters, Masters, Deputy Masters and Principle Conductor of the Work for the Council. The Past and Present elected and present appointive grand officers through their representative through proxy of the present Master, Deputy Master and Principle Conductor of the Work of the Council provided however, that said proxy can be given only to the Master, Deputy Master or Principle Conductor of the Work and of that Council or a Past Master who has served said Council as Master. Allan Jackson then stood and asked for this motion to be amended to read All officers, both elective and appointive, shall be members of a Council of this Grand Jurisdiction and actual residents within this State during the entire term of his office. (2013) This amendment was seconded and voted on. It passed with more than the 2/3 vote needed. That being done, the proposed change to the bylaw as amended was properly seconded and passed with a larger 2/3 Page 21 of 69

104 voting for this change. The next proposed by law change is as follows: The By-laws of the M:. I:. Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas currently reads: CHAPTER ONE ARTICLE III PER CAPITA DUES ALLOWANCES FINANCES 1-302a. ALLOWANCES An annual allowance shall be paid from the General Fund: to the Grand Master, $200.00; Deputy Grand Master $ Grand Treasurer, $100.00; Official Stenographer at the Annual Assembly, $ The foregoing allowances to be paid when the duties have been completed. To the Grand Recorder an amount to be determined by the combined Grand York Rite Committee on Finance and Property, and to be paid semi-monthly, through the Grand York Rite Budget. (2004) Proposed to read: 1-302a. ALLOWANCES An annual allowance shall be paid from the General Fund: to the Grand Treasurer, $ The foregoing allowance to be paid when the duties have been completed. (2013) REASON FOR CHANGE: To reduce expenses in the budget. The section on the Grand Recorder is a duplication of SALARIES- needs to be deleted. Submitted by: Wayne H. Rollf, Past Illustrious Master, Olathe Council No.11 Allan D. Jackson, Past Illustrious Master, Iola Council No.8 There was a motion to approve this proposal. It was properly seconded and the M:. I:. Mike asked if there was any discussion. Hearing none the vote was taken and there was more than the needed 2/3 with a positive vote. The By-laws of the M I Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas currently reads: CHAPTER ONE ARTICLE III PER CAPITA DUES ALLOWANCES FINANCES CONTINGENT FUND At each Annual Assembly the Grand Council shall set apart and appropriate the sum of $1, as a Contingent Fund for the Grand Master; and also to be used by him for paying expenses of visitations, Grand Officers attending funerals, meeting of the Council of Administration, and paying the expenses of any companion incurred under the direction of the Grand Master. This sum payable as Page 22 of 69

105 reimbursement for the mentioned expenses incurred as Grand Master upon receipt of a list of said expenditures. (1995) Proposed to read: CONTINGENT FUND At each Annual Assembly the Grand Council shall set apart and appropriate the sum of $1, as a Contingent Fund for the Grand Master, to be used by him for paying expenses incurred in the performance of his office. This sum payable as reimbursement for the mentioned expenses incurred as Grand Master upon receipt of receipts of said expenditures. Expenses to be incurred from the time of the Grand Illustrious Master s installation to February 15th the following year. This list is to be received for payment not later than February 16th each year at the Grand Recorder s office. (2013) REASON FOR CHANGE: To keep the expenses occurred within the budget for the presiding Grand Illustrious Master. All accounting books close February 28 each year. Submitted by: Wayne H. Rollf, Past Illustrious Master, Olathe Council No.11 Allan D. Jackson, Past Illustrious Master, Iola Council No.8 Companion David then made a motion to accept this change to the By-laws. It was properly seconded and the M:. I:. Grand Master asked if there were any questions. Just as a clarification in wording a proposal was made to amend this proposal and take Illustrious out of the third line from the bottom. Everywhere else it was referred to as Grand Master except this one spot and it was referred to as Grand Illustrious Master. I think by doing that, it keeps the wordage cleaner. M:. I:. Mike repeated the proposal, it was properly seconded. The vote was taken and the proper number of votes were cast. Now back to the original motion as amended, was seconded and received more than the 2/3 required vote. M:. I:. Grand Master, this completes the remainder of the Jurisprudence Committee for this year. I move that the entire Jurisprudence Report be accepted in its entirety. M:. I:. Mike had a second to this motion and it also passed by everyone attending. I thank you for letting me stay as chairman another year. Respectfully submitted, David F. Snyder, chairman Claude L. Carpenter Acceptance of remaining reports The motion was made and properly seconded to accept the remaining reports as printed in the Advanced Proceedings. The vote was taken and this motion was passed. Page 23 of 69

107 NECROLOGY No report received. Joseph A. Withrow, Chairman REPORTS OF GRAND OFFICERS M:. I:. Grand Master, Your committee on Reports of Grand Officers has been carefully read with a great amount of interest the address of the Most Illustrious Grand Master of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons. You are to be complimented for the enthusiastic leadership and considerable amount of visitation to lodges and York Rite Bodies. You have attended many award presentation nights. We commend you and the Kansas Cryptic Masons for your participation in the High Plains Rendezvous in Sterling, Colorado with Kansas doing the Select Masters Degree. The annual inspection of the Cryptic Deposit on Pikes Peak went well with 27 companions from Kansas, The Grand Master and three others from Colorado participating. You stated that the deposit was secure and the plate was in place. Most Illustrious T. Michael, we thank you for the privilege of serving the Grand Council. We wish you much happiness and pleasure in all your future undertakings. Fraternally submitted, Thomas A Jacks, Chairman Jimmie M. Jackson CRYPTIC RITUALISTIC COMMITTEE The new Ritual of Cryptic Masons of Kansas has been well received. Thanks to all who helped make this possible. Of course there are few minor errors and the next printing can fix the ones we found. We want to thank those find what has been minor errors. No schools of instruction were held. Although sometimes the attendance is not a good as we would have liked, the Companions do find much profit in the instruction and fellowship. The committee encourages the use of schools of instruction to improve the ritual use in all Councils. The use of the new ritual with the floor manual of instruction is an excellent source for every Companion. As we see a gradual decline in active membership, one of the ways to help slow this problem is to become proficient and do excellent degree work. Would you be likely to return to even a meeting if the degree you received was done sloppily, done with no preparation, and if it was necessary to be read with not feeling or expression? We must continue to improve our degree work and be proficient in opening and closing a Council of Cryptic Masons. Page 25 of 69

108 This committee wishes to thank the Most Illustrious T. Michael Fegan and the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Kansas for the privilege of serving this Grand Council. Respectively submitted: I:.

109 Election of Officers M:. I:. Mike then called on Mack Griffiths, chairman of Credentials to have his committee pass out the ballots. Mike requested that no one mark ballots yet because of some discussion that needs to be done first. As you are aware, this will be the third year in a row that Leroy Loggins has not been in attendance at the Grand Council. I would ask if anyone knows of his desire or intensions or what his problems might be. David Snyder, jurisprudence chairman stated that he thinks Leroy s intensions by not notifying anyone before now, that he does not want to move on up. Mike Bicknell stated that with him taking the lead next year, he wants someone to fall back on if necessary next year and needs a reliable Deputy. Mike B. stated that he does not know Leroy personally but is looking more for someone to be there and he has not been around for over three years. Mike Fegan stated that it is important that the officers participate and particularly the dais officers. I want to thank M:. I:. Carral Roberts to sit in the Principle Conductor of the Works station at the very last minute. Does anyone else have anything to add to this discussion? Mike Bicknell suggested moving the line up so Jimmie Grassi will be Deputy and Wayne Rollf as Principal Conductor of the Work for next year. M:. I:. Mike then asked Mack and his committee to pick up the ballots and then was dismissed to go out and count the ballots. Mike Bicknell stated that there was not a place selected at this time for the meeting location of Grand Session. Details will be out as soon as we make a decision. The Reception will be in Newton on June 16. He also reminded every officer to leave apron and jewel on chair. Get with Allan Jackson for nametags. Distinguished guests M:. I:. Mike asked Charles to speak at this time. He knows no one is to speak after him but all that is left to do is to close Grand Council. Charles agreed that this was fine. I do represent the General Grand Council of Cryptic Masons International. That is a real pleasure but I want you to know that I have some very deep roots to the state of Kansas. My great grandparents Stuckey are buried in Harper, Kansas. My grandfather made the run into Oklahoma when the Cherokee Strip was open in My mother and father decided I was going to be born in Kansas so I was born in Anthony, Kansas, and I received my Masters Degree from Emporia State so I do have some roots in this state. He stated that it was indeed a pleasure to be here. He said that he is aware that Kansans know about Cryptic Masonry but he was more concerned about York Rite Masons in Oklahoma and other states as well. He continued to talk about the need to keep Cryptic Masons state wide. He had a very interesting talk and was well received by all. Ballot results The tellers returned from counting ballots with the following report M:. I:. Grand Master, there were 49 ballots cast. For Jimmie Grassi, he had 44; and 3 scattered. For Wayne Rollf, Principle Conductor of the Work, 41 with 8 scattered; for treasurer, Ed Freeman, we had 45 with 4 scattered; Grand Recorder, Allan Jackson, he had 46 with 3 scattered. M:. I:. Mike then asked if each would accept the office to which they had been elected. In turn each agreed to accept the following year. Mike thanked the committee for their service. M:. I:. Mike thanked all for their help this year and for their presence this week. He proceeded to close the Grand Council until next year. Page 27 of 69

157 W. Ron McKenzie Right Eminent Grand Commander Page 5 of 69

158 Walter Ronald Ron McKenzie, Sr. Born the 2 nd son of Rosa Dell (Mc Caa) and James W. McKenzie Jr., August 12, 1938 in Beaumont, TX., and lived briefly in Victoria, Texas, Ron s family moved to Pineville, Louisiana during his very early childhood. Ron s dad, James Jim W. McKenzie Jr., owned a Diamond T truck dealership, a gas station, paint and body shop and several used car lots in Pineville and Alexandria, LA. Ron s paternal grandfather was the first Ford dealer in Louisiana, and also owned a laundry and brought a unique system of laundry from France, dry cleaning, as we know it today. He also owned a 6-chair barbershop where he also was a barber. Ron attended kindergarten and grades 1 5 (after skipping the 4 th grade) in Pineville, grades 6 and 7 at a rural school in Pollock, LA. Ron was a member of the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts as well as a member of the 4-H. He became a member of the DeMolay in Alexandria in His first paying job was as a babysitter at the age of 10, making 60 cents per hour. His second job was delivering early morning newspapers throughout the town of Pineville at the age of 13 years to the age of 15 (having obtained a driver s license at the age of 13). He was a Lieutenant in the Junior Louisiana State Troopers, (a Louisiana Highway Patrol organization for young boys.) High school in Pineville ended in 1954 when the family relocated to Junction City, Kansas. During his grade school years he played clarinet in the band, sang in the choir, and in High School in Junction City, played football his Junior and Senior year, was a 100 yard dash runner in Track, was stage manager for both his Jr. & Sr. class plays (receiving a Thespian Letter). He was in Spanish club, the library club and was a also a member of the KS Air National Guard as a Corporal his senior year. After graduating from JCHS in 1956, Ron joined the Navy. Trained in Morse Code at Bainbridge, MD in 1957, graduated as a radioman and was assigned to the USS Wasp CVS-18 (an aircraft carrier), whose home port was Boston, MA. During the summer of 1958, while on duty in the Mediterranean, the ship was ordered to Beirut, Lebanon during the Lebanese Crisis. He was assigned to the Admiral s Staff of COMCARDIV 14 the last three months of his Navy service and was Honorably Discharged in August He returned to Kansas, where he attended K-State one year studying business. Then he was off to Texas to be a Volkswagen salesman and mechanic saw him back home in Kansas going to work in Civil Service at Fort Riley in the Printing Plant operating various printing presses. A friend of Ron s talked him into driving from Junction City to Des Moines. On the promise of a great weekend and a nice blind date, Ron agreed to go. He found his dream girl waiting for him. On their very first date, it was truly love at first sight (at least for Ron!) They met in August, he proposed on their first date, and they were married three months later, on November 11, It has proved to be a wonderful union, for the two celebrated their 50 th Anniversary on the 11 th of November, In 1962 the two moved to Louisiana, the state of Ron s childhood living in the small town of Fishville, for 4 years during which their two children, Walter Ronald, Jr.(Bud) and Karin Ann were born. Ron worked for the Department of the Army at Fort Polk, LA. In June of 1966, with a chance for advancement in his occupation, Ron and family relocated back to Junction City where he worked in communications and security at Fort Riley as a Shift Supervisor, supervising the activities of 7 personnel. In 1977, Ron was promoted to the Chief of the Telecommunications Branch for Fort Riley, KS, supervising approximately 24 persons both Page 6 of 69

In 1988, Ron became the Security Manager for the United States Army Communications Command at Fort Riley, responsible for all aspects of security, including initiating request for security clearances under his own signature authority, and did personally grand interim TOP SECRET security clearances when and where warranted and required. His other jobs were of a classified nature. Ron s first real friends in Junction City were Jeff Johnson and Norman Johnson (cousins who later became Masons) whom he had met in Norman being a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Junction City was the first to introduce Ron to Presbyterianism and he attended church several times with him. Ron was raised Southern Baptist in Louisiana. As a teenager new to Kansas, and there being no Southern Baptist church in Junction City, in 1954; along with his father and brother, physically helped to build the First Southern Baptist church on West 8 th Street in Junction City. While working at Fort Riley, Ron joined the Fort Riley Flying Club and learned to fly becoming a private pilot. Ron served 22 years with the Geary County Sheriff s Reserve as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff reaching the rank of Sergeant, and eventually was promoted to Captain in Charge. He originated an provided the paperwork necessary to have the Reserve unit declared a Non-Profit Organization with the IRS. Following in the footsteps of his Great-Great Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Grandfather, and Father, Ron became a Mason and has been active for over 27 years and continues to be very active in the local Masonic Lodge, Union Lodge No. 7 AF&AM of Junction City, KS. He has also served at state level with the KS Grand Masonic Lodge and the KS Grand York Rite. (See attached Masonic Record). He has been directly responsible for over 50 new members having top line signed over 40 petitions. He also actively coaches new members in the memory work of all 3 degrees and assists other Masons in learning their new positions in the lodge. In 1995, after raising their children, and after his retirement from Federal Civil Service, Ron went way out on a limb and bought a fishing lodge northern Saskatchewan, Canada, 1,800 miles from Kansas and then 18 miles by boat to an island which he named Pike Island. Trips to town involved 225 miles down a gravel road and then further to the nearest store to buy supplies a total round trip of 500 plus miles frequently taking more than 24 hours. Buying pristine land on a large lake, they and their customers kept company with bears, moose, wolves and other critters. Together he and Rosemary ran the fishing lodge with 6 cabins and 30 beds. With Rosemary as the primary cook, and Ron working as the local electrician, carpenter, fishing guide, doctor, part time cook, dishwasher, boat builder, outboard motor mechanic, diesel generator mechanic, and as the hairy-legged waitress to the many happy sportsmen, they enjoyed their first opportunity to work together for the first time in their married life. They hired local native Indians (Denesuline or Dene a branch of the Navajo) as fishing guides, some speaking little or no English with whom Ron supervised and befriended and actually taught somehow to speak English. After six happy years they felt a little isolated, missing their children and grandchildren, and so they sold the lodge to return to Kansas and family, with the option to go back anytime to use the camp and fish.

168 THE ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONCLAVE GRAND COMMANDERY OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR OF KANSAS April 12, 2013 CLOSED MEETING The Right Eminent Ron McKenzie, Grand Commander of Kansas, called the meeting to order by asking the Grand Warder to inform the Grande Sentinel that we are about to reconvene the Grand Commandery Conclave. Grand Commander Ron proceeded to say that since he wrote the following it should be in his memory but it is not so he will read it. It is one of the articles from the Knights Templar magazine from May. It is indeed an honor and privilege for me to welcome you to your Grand Session and the One Hundred Forty Fifth Annual Conclave of Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kansas. Thank you for coming and being a part of history. I want to thank Right Eminent Past Grand Commander, T. Michael Fegan for appointing me to the progressive line in this Grand Commandery. It just seems like yesterday that this took place. Honestly it went faster than I thought it would. Without Mike s friendship, vision, support and encouragement, I would not be here. Also I want to thank the many Sir Knights who voted for me in each position along the way. These dedicated men are the shoulders on whom I have leaned and in whose shadows I have walked. Had they not been there, providing wise counsel, support and encouragement I would have surely failed. I can never begin to fill the shoes of those Sir Knights who proceeded me in this exalted position. I am truly humbled to have been a small part of this magnanimous Order. As my year as Grand Commander began April 15, 2012 I was indeed overwhelmed and full of hop, excitement, amazement and plans. It was my plan and intention to visit every one of our Commandery s in the state, had planned on attending Triennial in Virginia, the Grand Conclaves in our surrounding states. Some of my plans includes originate a vision for Grand Commandery similar to the program now working for Grand Lodge in the hope of sparking new interest and action to see new live in our Order. Looking for the fellowship I had planned to bring Knights Templar of Kansas back into public sight by attending every dedication, emblems and emblem presentation with Grand Lodge along with the M:. W:. Grand Master, Don Newman. There were many more plans which I had hoped to implement, however that was not to be. Four days after being elected and installed as Right Eminent Grand Commander Knights Templar of Kansas the love of my life, my best friend, a wife of years, woke up the morning of April 19 to a victim of a massive stroke. It left her unable to speak, walk, use her right arm and hand and totally at that time be able to take care of herself. After a week in ICU and a couple days on the floor, she was transferred to Via Christi Care Center in Manhattan. During that time she also had a gall bladder attack and had to have surgery for its removal. Several mistakes were made which made her recovery much more difficult. After returning to Via Christi care Center, Manhattan and after having received some therapies, and after careful consideration my immediate family and I decided the best care and chance for her recovery was to bring her home, which we did July 15. During this time, that is when I became a total caregiver to the love of my life. All of my plans were immediately changed. Many were cancelled. During this time, several Knights stepped up and preformed presentations and visitations for me without hesitation. Also the support of my daughter and son, my limited Page 16 of 69

169 participation would not been possible. I cannot say enough about the love shown to me by our daughter, Carry Ann who was by Rosemary s and my side until she went to work. My son was there as much as his work would allow. Without the love and support by these two very special people, I would have not have been able to perform those duties. I would be remiss if I did not mention all of the love, friendship and caring shown and expressed that the Sir Knights, Brothers, Sisters and friends expressed. I received hundreds of calls, s, phone calls, flowers, cards, visits and food all was and is appreciated more than I can tell you. Saying Thank you does not seem enough to express my gratitude. But thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will remain in my heart forever. Rosemary and I are truly blessed to have such friends and family. Being represented on several occasions by Sir Knight Chuck Arens, Wayne Rector, Dave Bingham, Wayne Rollf, and others too many to name here. Their participation in some of the activities normally attended by the Grand Commander would not have happened and I am eternally grateful for them. I was fortunate to be able to attend part of the Job s Daughters Convention in Hays, The area inspections in Parsons and Hutchinson, the awards presentation in Hiawatha, the public opening of Grand Lodge in Salina taking an active part in the honor guard arch of steel for the outgoing Grand Master, Don Newman. After having starting my Masonic life as a DeMolay in 1952 in Alexander, Louisiana, never in my lifetime did I ever imagine that it would eventually lead to my becoming Grand Commander of Knights Templar of Kansas sixty years later. Thank you Sir Knights from the bottom of my heart for all of the support you have given me in this past, very trying year. The ladies of the Grand York Rite bodies who have always been there for Rosemary and myself, for my family without whom it would not have worked. While my personal situation has prevented me from attending many functions, it has been my honor and privilege to serve you as the Grand Commander this past year. I will cherish this time for the rest of our lives. Thank you for allowing me this grand honor. Lastly, in the words of Brother Will Rogers, never let yesterday use up too much of today. Then he said never miss an opportunity to shut up. Fraternally, W. Ronald McKenzie R:. E:. Grand Commander The R:. E:. Grand Commander made the motion to accept the report of the Grand Commander and place it in the Annual Proceedings. It was properly seconded and carried. Page 17 of 69

It was properly seconded and carried. Respectfully submitted, Edward L. Freeman Grand Treasurer GRAND RECORDER S REPORT Wayne Rollf, Grand Recorder, started off by saying he was not going to stay in the office much longer and told the Grand Commandery that they need to be looking for a replacement for him. Adding to the Finance report from our Finance Chairman, we have moved our investments to an Annuity in each of our bodies and of the Grand York Rite. The report from the first quarter in this Annuity in Grand Commandery is almost as much as the entire year last year. Not only is it protected by being an annuity but are guaranteed a minimum income or more. We worried about moving this a bit but I believe it has proven itself as a good idea. The recap sheets and income sheets you will find in the Advanced Proceedings. If there are any questions please do not hesitate to call the office number and my cell phone will ring. However, I might not answer after 6 p.m. each evening. I am sorry but I need my personal time too. R:. E:.

After the Grand Commander told the tellers to retire and count the ballots, Sir Knight Fred Troxel spoke to all present. Fred mentioned that it is a pleasure being in Kansas again. He was raised down around Osawatomie, KS. We lived in Paola for awhile. Then I was moved to Grantville, Missouri then to Peculiar, Missouri, that was 4 different high schools I attended. But I was a Peculiar graduate (in more ways than one). I moved again then I was married. I married a Peculiar girl and entered into a Peculiar family. So I have been Peculiar for a long time. I now live in Blue Springs just on the eastern side of Independence. It s over there by the Truman library. If you have not been there it s a good place to go and visit and see what Give em hell, Harry was all about. They have car and a few other things. I am upset because for whatever the reason was, they closed the Truman home. The economy is hitting the Blue Lodges and York Rite very hard due to members and potential members not having the finances to join or be active. The York Rite needs to tell the Lodges what it is all about. Many do not know what York Rite is. We all know that the uniform is not cheap, neither is the sword. The aprons for Chapter and Council are also not cheap. All I can say is keep track of what you belong to and be proud. If finances are available, help a fellow brother that wants to join York Rite but cannot afford the entire cost, see if you or several can help him get in. You all will be better for this. I was kicked out of Kansas some time ago and I am glad to be back. T. Michael Fegan and I served our own Grand Commanderies the same year. I am glad to be back as you have some good leadership here in Kansas. It s a pleasure for me to work with Sir Knight David Bingham. I have known Sir Knight Wayne Rector for several years, as he has attended our Grand Session in Jefferson City. Anyway, it s a great thing that I came this year. I thank you for all the hospitality I have received in Kansas. Thank you again. Fred A. Troxel ELECTION RESULTS The tellers returned and gave the following report from election. R:. E:.

180 COMMITTEE REPORTS The R:. E:. Grand Commander asked for the committee reports. The Grand Recorder stood and made a motion to accept all reports that were printed in the Advanced Proceedings. The motion was properly seconded by David Bingham.The motion was voted on and passed. The Grand Recorder then reported that there are banners on the Grand Recorders Desk for those who brought their Beauceant s this year and to come to the desk after the meeting and get one. Those who brought yours last year we did not get the banners soon enough to have them at session so if you will tell me, I will give you one of last year s also. For the outgoing officers and incoming officers, we have you come to this desk and one at a time. We had a terrible mix up on the paraphernalia last time and I want it to be correct this year. Let s straightened this out. This will be just after we close this morning. Dress for the banquet is Class A with belt, no sword and no chapeau. No gloves either. JURISPRUDENCE REPORT At this time David Snyder approached the microphone. The Jurisprudence committee was contacted by the Grand Recorder to give an opinion on a proposed General Order #7 which would have required every Commandery to make a contribution to the Holy Land Pilgrimage fund without having an opportunity to collect it from the Sir Knights. It was the opinion of the committee that the General Order was not in compliance with the Statutes of the Grand Commandery of Kansas and the Grand Commander and Grand Recorder were notified of this change. The Grand Commander s message was received several days prior to the Grand Session opening and the review indicates that the Grand Commander has many good intensions when entering office but due to problems beyond his control he was unable to fulfill all of his duties. He is to be commended under stressful circumstances and did as much as he could being Grand Commander while being his wife s chief caregiver. The appointment of officers and committees and general orders were within the rights of a Grand Commander and were well thought out for the good of Kansas Templary. R:. E:. Grand Commander, I move that this portion of the Jurisprudence report be accepted and printed in the proceedings. This was seconded and voted on. The motion carried. The statutes of the Grand Commandery, you should have in hand now the proposed changes.
